  1. Scientific Method • A way of thinking about nature involving the use of certain skills to solve problems in an orderly manner.

  2. DEFINING THE PROBLEM USUALLY ASKED IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION COMPARING THREE THINGS. EX: Which brand of diaper is the most absorbent, Luvs, Pampers or Huggies?

  3. FORM HYPOTHESIS Possible answer to a question based on gathered information. EX: I believe Huggies are the most absorbent diapers.

  4. Make Observations Any information we gather by using our senses (see, hear, etc.) EX: I can see when water is poured onto the three diapers, Huggies absorbs the greatest amount.

  5. Experiment An activity designed to test a hypothesis. EX: Pouring water onto three differing brands of diapers and measuring which absorbs the greatest amount of water.

  6. Analyze Data Information collected from observations & experiments. When you are analyzing data, you generally place your information in the form of a chart or graph.

  7. Draw Conclusions An answer to the question. EX: My hypothesis was correct. Huggies are the most absorbent diapers.

  8. Communicate Results Let others know the results of your experiment. EX: I am entering the science fair to let our school know which diaper is the most absorbent out of Luvs, Huggies, or Pampers.
